  1. Sounds good! I saw them roll it into temporary gaskets in a video, and for pipes/hoses. Thanks!
  2. OK, thanks, I'll check out Eternabond. It might be best to have 2 or 3 different choices on hand.
  3. I saw a sales video on Rescue Tape (self-fusing silicon) that looked good. I was also looking at the Gorilla Waterproof and Seal Tape. We haven't been impressed by the other Gorilla products that we bought yet reviews for that were better than for the Rescue Tape. Has anyone used either of these? If not, do you keep something else on hand in this category? We are looking for just something multi-purpose to carry in the vehicle. When it comes to patches, we have excellent results with Tear-Aid which comes in different types depending on what needs repair.
  4. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/breed-based-dog-bill-passes-state-legislature/944890551 As someone said though, RV parks are private property, so this would not apply. Even having larger dogs of any breed, anything over 20 lbs., can be challenging. Having always traveled and RV'd with pets, we came to realize that "sometimes the decisions we have made in the past will limit our choices in the future".
  5. We were confronted with two younger pit bulls while we had our two larger senior dogs on leashes walking. These dogs were very fast but obviously inexperienced bitters. They were trying to grab the necks of our dogs which were both wearing metal pinch collars which protected their necks. I used a knuckle blaster stun gun on them when they went for the rear ends. The owners finally came and called them back. I have also had experience with a cattle dog and a Siberian husky coming after a single dog, both of those dogs were very fast. Our dogs show no aggression at all, and they think that other dogs are coming to make friends. Although most RVers don't have vicious dogs, some do especially with the variety of people that full-time live in RVs now, and dogs can be loose and run into the RV park areas from adjoining neighborhoods. Just keep in mind that some dogs/breeds are very agile and quick. Stun guns work well to discourage most dogs from approaching with just the static sound, not with the young pitbulls though. We have seen a lot of construction and pipe line workers with larger dogs that they travel with for protection. I have upgraded my knuckle blaster stun to a larger and more powerful stun stick with flashlight. They also have walking sticks with a stun feature. Do my dogs get loose and go after anyone? No, they don't.
  6. Air conditioning systems? I wonder how many BTUs, are we talking about, the rooftop air conditioner, maybe even 2 of them? Trust an RV system with the life of one of my pets alone for 5 days? My opinion is that this would be very unwise. RVs are just too quirky!
  7. Have you tried: https://coolworks.com/jobs-by/category Traditional workamping jobs are often physically demanding, so if you decide to apply, I would read some blogs about what the work is like.
  8. It looks like individual Postmasters do have control over certain elements of General Delivery:https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-General-Delivery Maybe being a little educated on how it works will help some be less critical of the USPS. I think overall they do a great job!
  9. Results may vary depending the humidity in your location when it comes to mold and mildew.
  10. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/pet-meds/foods-and-treats/rx-dog-food/ps/c/9547/31479/31480?cmpid=E-_-D-_-072618-_-C1 This could be another online resource. We haven't ordered prescription products, but have ordered many other items over the last couple of decades from them and been satisfied.
  11. I think this question would be best asked of a tax specialist. I think we will see many changes with the IRS coming up, so always check for the most recent info.
  12. New or used? I would go with a Bornfree or Lazy Daze if I were looking for longevity. Bornfree closed up shop a year ago in May, but I have never seen a Bornfree with delamination like I have seen with many others, I don't they are "bonded". Bornfree also have 3 tubular roll bars which adds to the safety. Anyone going older and used, Fleetwood made a very reliable one with many in good condition still on the road. I cannot believe the number of newer units I have seen with delamination issues lately!
  13. Getting On The Road

  14. Formerly Brookside before losing that a few years ago after a computer malfunction. Just moved the last time before full-timing in hopefully 2016. Will have an auction/tag sale and never go through moving like this again. Was excited to see a Class of 2016 already had formed. I have been waiting to full-time, until death due us part, since my mid-30's. Want to do it right!
